While there are many sets I would do this with, if I lucked onto a
Metroliner, I would either keep the
Metroliner as is (of course I am into trains), or I would sell it. The parts
in it aren't worth the price premium. Now I have lucked into some Metroliner
parts (or you could say I lucked into some monorail parts, or both, I got
both in an eBay lot, for less than I would now pay for the monorail parts).
Of course if someone offered me an outrageous sum, or a real good trade for
similar parts, I'd probably let go of the Metroliner parts in a heart beat.

As the recipient of this set, I think we both made out pretty good. I was
interested in more 4565 parts, but really didn't need more cranes. I may
have to build my own naval shipyard to use all the cranes I have.
